Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 972,726,232 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 972,726,232 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 94,37,161
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 559958
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/559958
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 972/94,726/37,232/161 is 2/559958
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 94,37,161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(94,37,161) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(94,37,161) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(94,37,161) = ( 94 × 37 × 161 ) / 1
LCM(94,37,161) = 559958 / 1
LCM(94,37,161) = 559958
